Jerrold E. Hogle, Robert Miles
Provides a scholarly account of the striking interplay between the Gothic and theory over two-and-a-half centuries

Each essay focuses on a particular kind of theory–Gothic relationship, every one of which has a history and each of which is still being explored in enactments of the Gothic and of theory today.

- Advances current scholarly investigation, by invigorating debates within both Gothic studies and literary theory
- Makes connections between a wide variety of issues, from eco-crisis and contemporary culture wars to the persistent problem of the ‘other’
